My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 50: first newspaper



With the support of Li Shimin, the work of the newspaper office was much easier. Among them, the first batch of internal policy news of the imperial court was sent to the newspaper office, and the first batch of information collected from the people was also in place. After reviewing and writing by the editor, The first draft of the newspaper is formed.

   Went straight to the newspaper office, Wang Zheng put a newspaper in front of Li Yin, "Your Highness, please read it!"

Li Yin took over the newspaper, and the typesetting of the newspaper in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is somewhat similar to that of modern newspapers. This is the result of Li Yin\'s training with modern knowledge. After all, he has seen a pig run, but the dozen or so editors of the newspaper have not seen it. passed.

According to Li Yin\'s design, the front and back of Shengtang Commercial Daily are divided into four pages, each page occupies a quarter. The first page Li Yin is of course to take care of Li Shimin\'s face, and it is all about the dynamics of the court. , some information about the introduction of policies and the promotion and promotion of officials, and the second page is about people\'s livelihood information, which is written about some people\'s real life problems and people\'s views on these problems and their reactions to the court. The third page is about current social events, such as fires, murders, traffic accidents, etc., and the fourth page is the focus of Li Yin\'s creation of the newspaper. It is full of commercial information and advertisements. Advertisements for soft shampoo, apricot blossom wine, and Fairy Sanhua perfume took up the entire page.

  Li Yin took a preliminary look and felt that there was no problem, "Now let the workshop print out a copy, and I will present it to the emperor for a look!"

   "Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Zheng said excitedly, the writer\'s name was written under the information, and if he could get into the eyes of the emperor, it was because there was smoke from the ancestral grave.

Wang Zheng took the newspaper and went to the printing workshop. Li Yin said to Su Mo\'er who was standing beside him: "The emperor promised to give each reporter a copper fish amulet, which means that from now on, the reporters will have an official status, and even those officials will not." Dare to touch them casually, this is very beneficial to the collection of information, and the law to protect journalists is also being discussed and will come out soon. I have prepared all these conditions for you, and the rest is up to you gone."

"Don\'t worry, Your Highness, Su Mo\'er will never disappoint His Highness\'s expectations. Now I have selected more than fifty smart people. These people are all servants of the workshop. I gave them hope according to His Highness\'s method. They Your loyalty is very reliable, and their training is also in progress, but your highness\'s book is very strange, I still don\'t understand the meaning of some words and words?" Su Moer wrote a copy of "The Spy" "Self-cultivation" was taken out.

For his own intelligence system, Li Yin racked his brains and even imported the training methods of spies in the 20th century. At the same time, he also bought a lot of books in traditional Chinese, but some of the words were still difficult for Su Moer to understand. , "Let me see, this is..." Taking advantage of the printing gap, Li Yin began to explain these techniques to Su Mo\'er that he didn\'t understand very well. At this time, Li Yin didn\'t realize that the input of such advanced knowledge would bring His intelligence system turned into a monster that horrified countless people.

In the printing workshop, Wang Zheng took the newspaper and began to make printing plates. He also worked in a printing workshop for a while before, but the movable type printing there was far behind the tools here. The typesetting person compared the newspaper, and within half an hour, a printing plate of a newspaper was produced.

   "Editor Wang, you are well-informed, what material do you think this movable type is made of?" asked a printing worker.

  Wang Zheng glanced at the neat printing plates with satisfaction, and said: "During the training, I asked Your Highness that this kind of movable type comes from a country called Huaxia, called lead type, and it is a very common technology used there."

"That country is amazing. Once this printing plate is made, roll it and a newspaper will come out!" While the printer was talking, he installed the printing plate, picked up the roller and rolled it, and a newspaper exuding the fragrance of ink Freshly baked.

  When Wang Zheng came back, Su Morer was leaning over to listen to what Li Yin was saying. The two were as intimate as a married couple raising eyebrows. "Ahem!" Standing at the door, Wang Zheng pretended to cough.

  Su Moer blushed and stood up. Seeing that it was Wang Zheng, Li Yin asked, "Is it printed?"

   "Okay, Your Highness!" Wang Zheng handed the newspaper to Li Yin.

   "Well, the effect is good! You wait for my news, the emperor agrees, and you will print in large quantities. Tomorrow, each family of the court officials will send one copy, and all shops and literature museums will send it. First, let them read it for free for a month!"

   "Yes, Your Highness, it\'s just a month of free time, isn\'t it too much of a disadvantage!" Wang Zheng said.

  Li Yin said: "This is called what you want to take first, you must give it first. When their lives are inseparable from newspapers, it is when we make money."

   "Your Highness is wise!" Wang Zheng suddenly realized.

He also explained some precautions to Su Morer and Wang Zheng. Li Yin took the newspaper and rode Honghaier to the Taiji Palace. Recently, he has been in and out of the palace frequently, and his face is familiar. The guards at the gate are also respectful when they see him. Respect, in their eyes, being able to enter and leave the palace frequently shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Li Yin.

"Well, the article about Tuyuhun attacking and harassing the border people of the Tang Dynasty is well written. Seeing this information will definitely make the people of the Tang Dynasty feel the same hatred, and this "Equal Field Law", I have been asking to promote it, but the effect is not good. With the newspaper Why worry that the common people don\'t know!" Li Shimin was very satisfied after reading the first page.

"What! Why is there such a thing that all three males from the common people\'s family were conscripted into hard labor? You add a sentence at the end of this article, saying that I ordered the local county magistrate to investigate this matter strictly!" Seeing the second page , Li Shimin said angrily.

   After getting angry for a while, Li Shimin looked at the other two pages, and turned to Li Yin: "Yin\'er, can the fourth page be shortened a bit and write more other things, why is it all about these commodity trades!"

"Father, my son is running a commercial newspaper, so I have to publish some product information, and my son can\'t make money and sell it. Besides, the newspaper has not been recognized by officials and people. After they can\'t do without the newspaper, my son Just expand the page, make eight pages in one issue of the newspaper, and then give the father six pages, okay?" Li Min poured out his bitterness.

  Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, I\'m embarrassing you too. How much do you plan to sell this newspaper for?"

   "I report to my father, three pennies!"

"The price is very cheap! Let\'s see, my father will count the number of officials in Chang\'an tomorrow. From now on, your newspaper office will send a copy to these officials every day. The money will be spent from the national treasury. At most, it will only be a matter of tens of dollars." Li Shimin laughed.

  Another windfall, although there are only a few tens of pennies, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is a dish, Li Yin said: "Thank you, Father!"
